Another option would be to let people specify the morphological mask
it uses for the grow operation (I assume that's how it's implemented).
A square mask would preserve corners in rectangular selections, I
think.

Or rather: First the x-axis and then the y-axis.

Hi!

Because the algorithm is generic and does not attempt to retain any
special geometrical properties of the selection. Keep in mind that the
selection is essentially just a channel.

Any feature that makes sense can be added as long as someone writes the
code. I think your use case makes sense and one way to support it would
be to add a check box to the Grow Selection dialog that if checked would
only grow the selection in the x and y axis.

[Gimp-developer] Why does growning the selection rounds the corners?

2008-11-22 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,


Could anyone tell me why growing the selection rounds the corners?
Many, many times I just want to grow rectangle selection by some pixels
and don't want it to be rounded. So I have to always take the rectangle
selection tool and adjust them.
Could you add this feature?
